Choi expresses disappointment over textbooks

TOKYO, Japan - South Korean Ambassador to Japan Choi Sang Yong (L) shakes hands with Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Yutaka Kawashima in Tokyo on July 10. During their meeting, Choi formally conveyed South Korea's disappointment over Japan's decision the previous day to reject most of the revisions requested by Seoul to controversial junior high school history textbooks. Critics say the eight textbooks approved recently by Japan's education ministry distort history and gloss over Japan's wartime atrocities.
